Annatto Seed Oil

Also Known As: Achiote Oil, Atsuete Oil
Botanical Name: Bixa orellana
Extraction Method: Cold Pressed
Origin: Native to Central America

Our organically crafted Annatto Seed Oil is cold pressed from the vibrant, spiny seed pods of the Bixa orellana shrub, traditionally known as Achiote or Atsuete. Revered for centuries in Central American cultures, this golden-hued oil is naturally rich in Bixin, a powerful carotenoid compound with potent antioxidant properties that help combat free radical damage and protect the skin from oxidative stress.

Lightweight, non-greasy, and highly absorbable, Annatto Oil offers a delicate, earthy aroma and a silky texture that makes it an ideal addition to facial serums, creams, body oils, and hair care formulations. It is packed with unsaturated fatty acids, especially Oleic and Linoleic acids, and demonstrates excellent oxidative stability—even without added preservatives.
